Man posing as Spider-Man pranks crowd

If Spider-Man, like other superheroes, tries to elude the public and masks his identity, one of his fans did it a different way.

A man in a Spider-Man costume went around Poland during broad daylight and posed in places where the public can easily spot him. His prank often got thumbs up, but sometimes a frown.

S.A. Wardega hit the subways, buses, and parks in Poland wearing his superhero costume. He hanged upside-down from the rail of a subway, where some elderly stared at him, confused. Younger crowds laughed and snapped photos as he hugged a light pole and joined street dancers.

Instead of shooting web from his wrist, Wardega sprayed silly strings to traffic officers, surveillance cameras, and a bunch of teens gathered in circle at a park.

He even tried daring stunts by taking an escalator with both feet and hands resting on the handrail, and clinging outside a moving train.

An elderly man from the subway wasn't a fan of his prank, though. The man asked him to sit properly on the train instead of dangling upside-down from the rail.

"It's not Olympiad," the man said. Everyone in the train laughed.

Wardega's video has been viewed more than 1 million times on YouTube. Aside from his Spider-Man video, Wardega gained following on YouTube with his other videos, where he dressed in outlandish costumes and went out in the streets.
